# Build instructions (Windows)
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
* Windows 7 or later
|
|
* Visual Studio 2010 Express or Professional
|
|
* Make sure "X64 Compilers and Tools" are installed if you use the
|
|
Professional edition.
|
|
* [Python 2.7](http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7/)
|
|
* [node.js](http://nodejs.org/)
|
|
* [git](http://git-scm.com)
|
|
|
|
If you are using Visual Studio 2010 __Express__ then you also need following
|
|
softwares:
|
|
|
|
* [WDK](http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11800)
|
|
* `Build Environments` is required.
|
|
* [Windows 7 SDK](http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279)
|
|
* `Windows Headers` and `Visual C++ Compilers` are required.
|
|
|
|
The instructions bellow are executed under [cygwin](http://www.cygwin.com),
|
|
but it's not a requirement, you can also build atom-shell under Windows's
|
|
console or other terminals.
|
|
|
|
The building of atom-shell is done entirely with command line scripts, so you
|
|
can use any editor you like to develop atom-shell, but it also means you can
|
|
not use Visual Studio for the development. Support of building with Visual
|
|
Studio will come in future.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** Even though Visual Studio is not used for building, it's still
|
|
**required** because we need the build toolchains it provided.
|
|
|
|
## Getting the code
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/atom/atom-shell.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Bootstrapping
|
|
|
|
The bootstrap script will download all necessary build dependencies and create
|
|
build project files. Notice that we're using `ninja` to build atom-shell so
|
|
there is no Visual Studio project generated.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cd atom-shell
|
|
$ python script/bootstrap.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
Build both Release and Debug targets:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ python script/build.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also only build the Debug target:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ python script/build.py -c Debug
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After building is done, you can find `atom.exe` under `out\Debug`.
|
|
|
|
## Tests
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ python script/test.py
|
|
```
